CULTUREGerman, Jewish and Czech cultures have intermingled in the Czech Republic over the centuries resulting in a rich and diverse culture complete with distinctive art, music and literature. The Czech con-tribution to music has been of notable international importance. Bedřich Smetana and Antonín Dvořák became famous, not only as incomparable maestros in their own country, but as geniuses on an international scale. Two other Czech names are known around the world: Leoš Janáček and Bohuslav Martinů, who are the most fre-quently- played contemporary Czech composers.

BRATISLAVA TOURIST BOARD
THANKS to its strategic position, excellent
transport connections and compact historical
city centre, Bratislava is the perfect venue for all
kinds of events. Whether you plan to organise a
small event or a bigger conference, you can be sure
Bratislava is the right choice. Th e city boast many
features that will attract clients to attend incentive
or thematic events here. Th e renovated historical
city centre with its pastel tones will enchant anyone
and everyone. Baroque palaces from the era of the
former Austro-Hungarian monarchy, charming
narrow streets and the bustling life of what is one of
the youngest capital cities in Europe, are just some of
the things that make up the day to day atmosphere
of the city. In the summer, the centre comes alive
with summer terraces and it is easy to imagine
that you are at the seaside in some Mediterranean
country. Th e overall coastal atmosphere is boosted
also by the many musical and theatrical events
that fi ll the city courtyards and squares in the
summer, as part of the oldest festival in the city,
Cultural Summer and Castle Festival. Th e year-
round cultural events of an international standard,
complemented by the warmth and friendliness of
local residents, contribute substantially to making
the city the perfect venue for MICE events.
Good food and wine are also among those topics
that interest anyone who appreciates original
dishes and quality beverages. For centuries the
excellent wines produced around Bratislava were
always served at the royal courtyards, and members
of the royal family would consume red wine like
a medicine. Th is wine-growing tradition is now
enjoying a renaissance and the many awards
received at competitions around the world are
proof of the quality of wines and of the eff orts of
winegrowers to serve only the very best in the wine
cellars of the Little Carpathian region.
THE dynamic development of Bratislava in recent
years has been driven forward by several projects
that have greatly boosted and improved the level of
quality on off er for MICE events. Visitors coming
to the city make use not only of the international
airport in Bratislava, but also the international
airport in Vienna just 45 km away. Travellers to
Bratislava will now have even better connections
and greater comfort thanks to the new departures
terminal at M.R. Štefánik airport in Bratislava,
which is due to open before the 2010 summer
season Bratislava airport is therefore fast becoming
an important regional centre for low-cost fl ights.

MICE Destinationwith Great Potential – Slovakia
More and more people attend congresses and conferences in Slovakia each year. And there is more than just one reason for it.
With its rich culture, traditions and magnifi cent historical places, Slovakia offers each visitor an unexpected experience.
Combine this with its ideal location in Central Europe and you will get a combination that MICE organizers love. Slovakia is easily accessible: the number of air connections from the M. R. Štefánik Bratislava International Airport is constantly growing and a short ride on a highway takes you from the Slovak capital to the Schwechat Airport in Vienna in less than an hour.
Slovakia is a small country, so you can see almost all of it in a relatively brief stay. And there is a lot to see. Five towns and monuments have been included in the UNESCO heritage list, and the country also has two entries in the UNESCO list of natural phe-nomena.
Slovakia is a very safe destination that can guarantee you a hassle-free visit.
When organizing an event in Slovakia, you will have many opportunities to offer your participants more than just work and debates in congress halls. Ski centers, spas, castles, theatres, or the opportunity to play on golf courses that are nestled in between beautiful natural scenery.
Slovakia´s capital on both banks of the Danube river offers a variety of sightseeing opportunities, accommodation in top quality hotels and so many restaurants, cafés, bars and pubs that they even call the streets of Bratislava´s Old Town “one big res-taurant.”
You will get good value for your money. The selection is broad and comes at reason-able and competitive prices.
Experience Slovakia! You will not regret it!
